The Design
About Seven Hills Whisky Packaging de Bebidas
El primer whisky single malt ahumado húngaro, distinguido por su distintivo carácter a nueces y similar al Tokaji Aszú, gracias a la malta de cebada ahumada sobre orujo de uva orgánico de Tokaji Aszú. Las características modernas y estilizadas de la etiqueta se derivan de la icónica forma de 7 del logotipo de Sevenhills, delicadamente contrapunteadas por la representación abstracta del humo, que envuelve juguetonamente la botella.

- Production Technology
- Ofset printed label and screenprinted bottle.
- Design Challenge
- Designing the packaging presented the challenge of building upon and surpassing the visual identity of the Tokaj Gin packaging previously created for Sevenhills Distillery. Various design iterations explored how to represent smoke in a modern and refined way—ensuring it subtly enveloped the bottle without overpowering the label. The result is a sleek, contemporary aesthetic that enhances the whisky’s rich, smoky character .
- Research
- The design of this bottle builds upon the visual identity established by the Tokaj Gin packaging from Sevenhills Distillery but takes on a more modern and refined approach, aligning with the unique character of Hungary’s first smoky single malt whisky.
- Inspiration
- The abstract smoke pattern encircling the bottle represents the whisky’s unique smoky essence. Its black and copper tones evoke both the depth of the whisky’s flavor and the craftsmanship of pot still distillation. The handcrafted beechwood screw cap, made from the same wood as the ageing barrels, highlights the harmony between the maturation process and natural materials.
- Project Duration
- Started and finished in Budapest at the end of 2024.
- Operation Flow
- As the customer looks through the bottle filled with whisky, the liquid enhances the illusion of swirling smoke, reinforcing the whisky’s rich, smoky character.
